Booming Through The Press.

Western towns which have boom

appreciate the power of the press. The
people of Tucson, Arizona, buy 5000
copies OF their local paper for the pur-
pose of sending it abroad, and in addi-
ton pay it 5000 a month for special
write-ups." The town of Lamar,
Col, recently paid the Vocal paper ST.
500 for write-up," and the citizens
of Fort Smith, Kansas, have just spent
81, 600 in advertising the town.
Hutchinson, Kan, claims to give its
local paper bonus of $40, 900 year
for remaining alive and kicking, while
Newton, Kansas, pays its paper Sl5,
600. There is nothing at all improper
in this, as the money is paid for legiti-
mate advertising On the contrary it
is very creditable to the citizens of
these towns that they thus encourage
their local papers and at the same time
benefit themselves Virginia Chroni-

POSTAL TI.Ls.G2tpi..

Senator Cullom of Illinois, who
amended the Interstate Commerce bill
at the last session of Congress until its
author, Reagan of Texas, scarcely
recognized it, has introduced bill to
establish United States Postal Tele.
graph system. 1t provides for the
construction of trunk lines through
the coantry connecting all .he princi-
pal cities, and trans-continental line
from Chicago to San FRANCISCO. Tele-
graph Offices are to be opened at all
intermediate points on the lines ut
which there are first, second OF thru
class Postofiices established. The
system is to be constructed as near
as practicable in straight lines, under
the supervision of the engineer corps
of the army, and when completed
transferred to the custody of the Post.
master General.
The poles are to be of iron and the
wire of copper, and the Secretary of
War is authorized to construct, take
and use all machinery and devices,
excepting telegraph lines, whether
patented or not, as shall be deemed
necessary, the compensation to be de-
termined by the Court of Claims.
The bill ixes rate of ten cents for
each twenty words, and five cents for
each additional ten words, for distan-
ces under 800 miles, and an additional
rate of five cents for each 250 miles
over 800. A night rate of 30 cents
aud day rate of 20 cents is fixed for
each 100 words transmitted for news
papers, except where the same dis
patches are dropped off at more than
one office, the rates shall be % and
and 80 cents respectively. An appro-
pria.ion of 81 900, 900 is made for the
location and construction of the lines
provided by the Act.
A postal telegraph system which will
reduce rates is very desirable provided
it cannot be used as political ma
chine by the party which happens to
be in power. At present Jay Gould
controls almost the entire telegraphic
system of the country, and his com
pany the Western Union, can fix its
own rates and MAINTAIN them however
exorbitant they may be.

A Fatal Sense of Security Awfully
Realized at Sea.

"A wet sheet and flowing sea. a breeze that

From his lookout the faithful old
captain Of yonder merchantmen casts
an uneasy glance at the distant
horizon. See yonder small speak
of cloud mo larger than a mans
hand" He watches it with his
piercing eye for a few moments, then
reaches for his long eyeglass. To his
experienced view, this harmless
little cloud betokens danger.
Across his bronzed face there comes
a look of determination, and, with
quick orders to the seamen, the craft
is put about and all sail made for the
nearest harbor, where in apparent
safety the anchor is dropped, and the
hardy mariners watch the approach
ing storm with defiance!
The storm bursts!
The decks have been cleared, the
sails close furled, and all ordinary
preparations made for an emergency.
The storm increases but all seems
safe.
But see the vessel gives sudden
lurch, turns quickly about, and away
she goes

This mighty ship might have ridden

are wrecked because of the unsus-
pected weakness of a link in the chain

The mystery of death is even
greater than the mystery of life. We
think the links OF our chain are

never really know that they will bear
the strain that we put upon them.

England has in India some fifty
million Of Mussu,n..n subjects, in
cluding in their mass the most warlike
of the native races upon whom Eng
land must chiefly rely to roll back the
tide of Russian aggression; and Eng
land is not likely to forget that 1t was
these very races who. in 1857, at the
bidding of their Caliph, the Sultan
Abdul Medjid, gave their united sup
port to the British connection at that
supreme moment when their detection
might have cost the life Of every white
man and woman in India. My late
father frequently assured me that the
whole influence Of the Caliphate was
used most unremittlngly from Con-
stantinople to check the spread of the
mutiny, to rally to the English stand
ards the Mussulman races of India,
end that in this way the debt which
Turkey owed Great Britain for British
support in the Crimea was paid in
full. And the time may again come
when the devotion Of the Mussulmans
TO their Caliph and the Shrine of st.
Sofia may be not less necessary to
Great Britain than in 1867. | am
aware that IN the Western World the
religious sentiment Of nations is no
longer considered an important factor
in politics, but it would not be wise to
regard any such maxim as applicable
to the East. The myriads who to-day
in the hottest regions in the world
keep for an entire month each year
the fast of Ramadah-entire abstinence
from all food and water between sun.
rise and sunset while continuing their
fall daily toil-the religious zeal that
has endured this trial steadfastly for
more than one thousand years at the
bidding of the Prophet, is not likely
to look on unmoved when his shrine
q. Mecca and his tomb at Medina
have become the objective points Of
foreign aggression. The enlightened
classes in India recognize that the rule
of England has secured us against in
cessant internal strife, involving a per-
pstual exhaustion of the resources of
our community, and also that by just
administration of equal laws very
sufficient measure of individual liberty
is now our birthright. We have lost,
as some think, our national liberties,
which after all were merely the hber-
ties enjoyed bv despots to compel their
subjects 10 make war on one another;
this so.called liberty" is denied us;
but more than two hundred and forty
millions Of us have new the right to
live our owa lives on what lines We
please, and to be subject only to the
control of a known, a written law;
and this being so, the one further in
ducement needed to keep the Moham.
medan millions forever steadfast in

religious faith and cherished convic.

therefore the strongest link in the

and our Caliph, between the temporal
power in India and the spiritual power
that radiates from the Bosporus.-

does not dry up q cough and leave the
